Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SCA
Designed for high-speed actuation in tight spaces, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the end-of-stroke bang typical of bumper-only units. The Ø20 bore uses an ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchangeability, while the CA rear clevis provides a secure pivot mount.
Operating double-acting on filtered air at 1/8" ports, it pushes with 157 N of force at 0.5 MPa and pulls with 131.9 N. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, allowing it to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SCA Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 157 N push force to snap small plastic or aluminum parts out of a mold at high cycle rates, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh impacts on the 10 mm stroke.
Package Diverter
Pivots via the CA clevis to deflect small cartons on a conveyor belt, where the stainless build resists dust and the cushion silences the rapid directional shifts.
Compact Sorting Gate
Fits into tight ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets to actuate a sorting gate, lifting roughly 8 kg of product vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SCA the Right Cylinder?
For a 10 mm stroke moving light loads at high speed, this model hits a practical sweet spot. If you need less force, dropping down requires switching to the MI bumper-only series, as the MIC cushion design starts at Ø16. If your load exceeds the 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to the Ø25 bore provides 245.3 N of push force. Keep in mind the adjustable cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock.
If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The built-in magnet (-S) enables electronic or reed switch tracking, and you can adapt the mounting via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets alongside the standard CA clevis.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 20 mm bore, an 8 mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 male thread, and 1/8" air ports. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a locking brake; the piston will drift on air loss, requiring an external rod lock for holding. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for use with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.
